in that period, where titans were the greatest danger to humanity, where love could easily be torn apart at any time if one person died during a mission. You and Levi knew that, both of you understood it very well so neither of you dared to take risks, both of you were afraid of being hurt, afraid of not being able to bear the pain if one person died... we loved each other but had to suppress that love...
Levi loved you, that was something everyone knew but no one said it. He cared for you, considered you as the meaning, the reason for him to live and fight. You loved Levi, considered him as the purpose, the ultimate future for you to live and strive for. Both of you loved each other but no one said it. He was a captain of an elite reconnaissance team, you were a scout working under him so it was easy for him to keep an eye on and take care of you. But then in a confrontation with titans, you were seriously injured, it was like stabbing Levi's heart with a painful knife. that was the first time he cried so hard. when you woke up he was still sitting next to you as he held your hand tightly and whispered.
"can we not hide it anymore?...love each other...okay?"
